There are, beside themes also theme engines, like thinice or redmond95. I don't see any reason, why one should not be able to write a new engine, that makes use of the win32 APIs. However I've never tried, so I'm not sure. Johannes _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
